Get ImageMagick with PNG and JPG delegates installed on mac OSX Leopard without using MacPorts
I assume everybody knows how to install ImageMagick usin MacPorts.
MacPorts is a fantastic tool to easily install software in your mac, but sometimes the project you are working on requires the latest feature only available on the latest version of your software or library.
Most of the times MacPorts will have it, but… you better know how to build your software from source just in case.
Lets start by downloading ImageMagick, PNG and JPG libraries to your desktop. ( just copy the uri, paste on your browser and save on the desktop )
ImageMagick installs with the GIF library natively, so…
ImageMagick => “ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz”
PNG => “http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/libpng-1.2.35.tar.gz”
JPG => “http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/libjpeg-6b.tar.gz”
You will need to decompress the 3 files to your desktop and rename them to make your life easier when entering the commands.
The ImageMagick I renamed “im”, the PNG “png” and the JPG “jpg”…
Now that we have our three folders on our desktop (“im”, “png” and “jpg”), let’s open the terminal.
You should now see 3 logo images on your desktop, PNG, JPG and GIF.
